Alternative Healing for PMS & PMDD Workshop

Sophia Hoffer PerkinsMarch 3rd, 2012, 10am-5pm, $88 + $20 for course materials (includes a book and ritual candle) with Sophia Hoffer-Perkins

This workshop will explore alternate perspectives on menstruation. We will look deeply into the origins of, experiences of, and treatments for PMS, PMDD, and other stress surrounding menstruation. We'll learn tools for relieving stress and symptoms surrounding your menstruation.

Have you ever had any of these symptoms around (usually before or during) your period?

  • feelings of deep sadness or despair
  • feeling like someone else is running you
  • feelings of intense tension or anxiety
  • increased intense sensitivity to rejection or criticism
  • panic attacks
  • rapid and severe mood swings, bouts of uncontrollable crying
  • lasting irritability or anger, increased interpersonal conflicts
  • apathy or disinterest in daily activities and relationships
  • difficulty concentrating
  • fatigue
  • food cravings or binge eating
  • insomnia or hypersomnia
  • feeling overwhelmed or feelings of being out of control
  • increase or decrease in sex drive
  • increased need for emotional closeness
  • breast tenderness or swelling, heart palpitations, headaches, joint or muscle pain, swollen face and nose, back pain between the shoulder blades
  • an altered view of one's body - a sensation of 'bloating', feeling fat or actual weight gain

In this workshop we'll explore and learn to celebrate menstration as a sacred time for healing, self-reflection, wisdom and knowing. By looking at alternative healing/health model's understanding of menstruation we will begin to understand symptoms as communication, rather than the enemy.  We'll also learn the value of community; recognizing that you are not alone is the starting point for creating a healthier relationship with your body.

Yin Yogassage...with a touch of Reiki

3 offerings! Sunday, March 18th, Choose One:  11am-1pm, 3-5pm, or 6-8pm, $50/session

Yin Yogassage...with a touch of Reiki is the harmonious blend of the 3 practices.  The practice was created by former Yogawood co-owner, Jill Cummings, E-RYT/ Reiki practitioner (trained at The Reiki School + Clinic) and her colleague and friend, Brad Mumpower who is a Pittsburgh based certified Massage Therapist and Reiki Master.  Students will be lead through the quiet, reflective practice of yin yoga while receiving massage and Reiki as they are in the poses.  Yin yoga invites the student to hold poses on the ground for longer periods of time to allow muscles to soften and the release of energy deep in the connective tissues of the spine, hips and shoulders.  Massage and Reiki are offered to the students while they are in the poses to help facilitate the release of obstacles held in the body and allow the students to move deeper into the poses.  This practice is appropriate for beginners to advanced practitioners. Both Jill and Brad will assist in modifying/adapting your practice should you be living with any chronic conditions or injuries.

Jill and Brad have been offering Yin Yogassage with a touch of Reiki at their studio in Pittsburgh since it was created last year and are so excited to bring to to The Reiki School & Clinic!  We believe this practice is as heavenly as it sounds... come find out for yourself!

Intuitive Development Basics

Join us for a day of Intuitive Training with Alexandra DiFillipo, HHCSaturday, October 15th, 10:00am-4:00pm

With Alexandra DiFilippo

This is a full day dedicated to your own energetic balance and self-awareness in an intimate, guided atmosphere.

In strengthening your intuition, one of the first steps is learning to ground your energy so that you can feel more focused and less flighty or overwhelmed.  You will also learn how to create boundaries and control your own energy to avoid feeling drained in vulnerable situations. From this place, we will discuss the chakras and how to "dialogue" with them to learn more about your own energetic patterns and how to overcome personal blocks.  This is a powerful process that was my first step in medical intuition. You will be guided to perform a reading on your own chakras.

You will learn to:
• ground your energy
• create appropriate boundaries for your energy
• intuitively explore your chakra system
• receive guidance and coaching through the process

Spaces are limited. 7pp maximum for class.
